Interesting report card & some articles

I stumbled upon this dog breed report card (click it to zoom in) this morning and had to share it with y'all. It is a chart that shows some of the most popular dog breeds and their most common ailments.

Also found two fun articles:

Lucky dog reunites with family after Cross-Country journey

Pooper scooper finds $58 in dog doo Hahaha, that is rich, if only I found that in every pile! :)

Take care,

Another double whammy!

Our week has started off with a bang, we had to assessments this morning.

First up was Gemma. She is a nine month old, 47 pound gold colored Goldendoodle. Gemma is a lovely dog and she had a fantastic time ripping around in the Medium Roll.

The second pooch was Buzz. He is a two year old, 70 pound Airedale. Buzz is a rescue dog and a real sweetheart. He has only been with his current owner for a couple weeks. After Buzz settles into his new home we expect him to enjoy the fort a lot more.

Cheers,

Old friends and new friends

A while back I blogged about Omar, the old Dalmatian, and a Shiba Inu/ Australian Shepherd mix named Niko. Well, they were back to their old tricks again today--I don't think they've seen each other since that day in April. Omar was just as happy to play with him today as he was last time.



Niko made his rounds, and played with a lot of the dogs here today--he had an especially good time playing with Lillie, a Yellow Lab puppy.



Abby, a beautiful black goldendoodle, just started at the Fort yesterday, but she's already making friends! Today she was excited to play with Teddy (a real little guy), and Chloe (a tall Weimeraner). Here's a clip of her and Teddy!



When they were getting tired, Chloe and Teddy jumped up to nap on top of the crates, near the sunshine.



Let's hope our summery weather lasts!

A double header!

We had two assessments at the fort this morning. The first was Pepper, she is a eight month old, 55 pound Labrador Retriever. What can I say about Pepper... She is high energy, even after a two mile run! She is the rowdiest we've seen since Ryker (and of course they became friends instantly) lol. Although she's super spunky, Pepper is a good dog. I am sure we will see her in the Big Roll again soon.

Our second assessment was Abby. Abby is a six month old, 43 pound, Goldendoodle with beautiful black and white hair (haven't seen too many like her). Abby wasn't quite as gung-ho as Miss Pepper but she did awesome and really seemed to enjoy herself. Abby is going to be a splendid addition to the Medium Roll.

Boy am I stoked for tomorrow's weather! Get out there and enjoy it! :)

P.S. You gotta check this article out, what a trek!

A Wigee welcome!

Wigee wagged her way into the fort for her early morning assessment. She is a darling, four year old, 52 pound, English Springer Spaniel. Wigee is a friend of Jinx (a longtime friend of Fort Fido) and she joined him today in the Medium Roll. She did well and spoke good dog. Wigee is welcome back anytime.

Cheers,

P.S. I didn't realize that the dog from the new movie "Marmaduke" is a local, check it out here. Thought you might enjoy this photo set too, it's a tiger? It's a Panda? No, it's a dog! :)

A shiny Gem!

Gem had her assessment this morning. She is an gorgeous looking, 12 week old, Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. Gem had an outstanding time in the Medium Roll. She romped and play-bowed, showing a lot of confidence for a dog her age. Gem made quite a few buddies, we look forward to her return. She won't last in the Medium Roll forever though, she's going to be a big girl! :)

Take it easy,
